Books of the Week – April 10, 2010

Creaky Old House, by Linda Ashman This is a super fun book to read. It’s got rhyming, humor, great pictures to examine… everything. We all love this book. It was just a random find at the library, but I’m so glad we brought it home. If you have a less than perfect house that is just fine the way it is because it’s lived in, I think you’ll enjoy this one. M picks it every day and I’m always glad to see it in the pile. :)

Rabbits and Raindrops, by Jim ArnoskyI highly recommend anything written by Jim Arnosky – his illustrations of wildlife and nature never disappoint and I always find his writing soothing, calming… just beautiful. This was the first time we’ve read this particular book and it’s lovely… little bunnies get out of a rainstorm by huddling up under some overhanging leaves. Soon a hummingbird, butterfly and other small creatures join them there. Honestly, sometimes I’m glad I have a 3 year old just so I can read books like this! Oh, and M recommends it too. :)
Check out Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns for more book recommendations!
Have a beautiful day! :)

We read only a couple of books by Arnosky so far, and Anna was kind of lukewarm on them, but she is not necessarily into animals. But I put this one on my request list, because it sounds so lovely. Thanks for joining and sharing your picks!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment; I love reading them! If you ask a question and don't receive a personal reply, check back here for the answer. Often I reply via comment to something that might be of interest to others.
